298 THE TALKING PICTURE The really super-production of 1936 was M-G-M's screen biography of Florenz Ziegfeld, The Great Ziegfeld. Robert Z. Leonard handled the massive job of direction, and William Powell played the name part, with Myrna Loy as Rillie Burke. Here are Powell and Nat Pendleton, "Sandow the Great." BELOW When Anthony Hope wrote The Prisoner of Zciula, the Edison Kinetoscope had just been exhibited to the public. The two— the story and the moving picture— were to meet many times in future years. Ramon Novarro, for one, played it in 1922. In 1937 it reappeared on the screen, this time with Ronald Colman in the title role, with Madeleine Carroll as the heroine. John Cromwell directed it for Selznick. This duel scene shows Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Colman.
